Cappuccino + Finger = {delta}(1,1) good

Don't ask.

So apparently holiday season has started once again in Bangalore. Gdammit. I'm several thousand kilometres away, and rather miffed about it.

On the other hand, there will be enough people at Brandeis over the summer to keep me entertained. Out of the department, Sammy and Vince are literally within hitting distance. In the department itself, much of my Physics crowd will be floating around. Also within hitting distance, though most of them are fitter (and bigger) than yours truly.

I think my next online name will be "kroneckerdelta". Configure had a good long run and all that, but times demand change etc etc. Any ideas as to where I should sign up as "kroneckerdelta"? Suggestions, people.

And now, the feature of the week!

Tech Ramblings of the Day:

My bed here is a wondrous device. Latched onto its left side is a small plastic remote with four buttons on it. When utilized correctly (an endeavour requiring years of training), these buttons fiddle with the elevation of certain parts of the bed. Other opportunities aside, this has led to an almost singular use: push button for insta-chair. It is now my new reason for not getting out of bed. Previously, my choice in the matter was limited, as reading necessitated actually finding some means of back-support. Now, with a convenient stack of fantasy novels on the floor, even that bit of exertion has been eliminated. And with my laptop close by, almost all of my needs are fulfilled. Now if I could only fit a kitchen in here...

I am currently installing and testing various music players for fun (it's good to be back with Gentoo). In my absence, there seem to have sprung up a fairly wide range. Currently on my app bar: Banshee and Quod Libet. Fairly proficient, lacking a bit in polish - but what the heck, they're fairly deep alpha. Practically CVS code.
